Michael Cuddyer resumes baseball activities
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(7:02 pm ET) Rockies outfielder Michael Cuddyer (neck) is starting to feel better after the epidural shot he received on Tuesday.

Cuddyer was cleared to resume baseball activities Saturday. He threw and hit in the cage for the first time since landing on the disabled list. Cuddyer told The Denver Post that he'll be ready to come off the DL Friday at San Francisco. Manager Walt Weiss has not decided if he'll need a minor-league rehab assignment before Friday.

Shane Victorino plans to return Sunday
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(7:02 pm ET) Red Sox right fielder Shane Victorino said that he is planning to return to the lineup Sunday, ESPN Boston reports. He has been out of the lineup with back soreness since crashing into an outfield wall Thursday.

Cory Luebke set down again
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(6:56 pm ET) Padres pitcher Cory Luebke, who has been recovering from Tommy John surgery since last May, had his throwing program stopped for a second time this month Saturday. Lubeke had progressed to playing catch off a mound.

Luebke was shut down earlier in May after feeling pain in his throwing elbow, though that was not considered a serious issue. 


Jose Molina exits game with hamstring tightness
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(6:55 pm ET) Rays catcher Jose Molina left Saturday's game with hamstring tightness, the Tampa Bay Times reports. He was 2 for 2 with two doubles before exiting.

Molina is considered day to day.


Bryce Harper held with injured left knee
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(6:54 pm ET) Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper was held out of Saturday's lineup against the Padres due to a bruised left knee, according to The Washington Times.

Harper told reporters he is still sore from his recent outfield wall collision. MRI results on his abdomen came back clean. Harper could still be held out as a precaution Sunday in order to return in full strength Monday at San Francisco. He is hitting .171 with two home runs and four RBI in 12 May games.

Jayson Werth out until at least Friday
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(6:50 pm ET) Nationals outfielder Jayson Werth will not be able to return until Friday at the earliest, after a setback in his hamstring while rehabbing in the minor leagues, The Washington Post reports Saturday.

Werth is seeing a specialist in Chicago to determine what is wrong with the hamstring. He has been out since May 2 with the injury, and this is the second specialist he is seeing this weekend. 


Alexi Ogando pitched with arm injury before DL stint
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(6:35 pm ET) Rangers starting pitcher Alexi Ogando revealed to manager Ron Washington that his arm had been bothering him before his last start, after which he was placed on the disabled list, the Dallas Morning News reports.

"He finally told me that when we were talking, and I said, ‘You can’t do that’," Washington said. "He’s got a different workload this year. When you are a reliever and you only have to pitch an inning or so, you can pitch through some soreness, but when you are a starter, it’s a different situation. You can make it worse. It’s something that comes with experience. Now that he has the experience of going through this and knowing the situation, hopefully it won’t happen again. Thank God it wasn’t more serious."

Ogando is on the 15-day disabled list with biceps tendinitis.


Adam Dunn removed from game with back spasms
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(6:17 pm ET) White Sox first baseman Adam Dunn left Satuday's game against the Angels with back spasms. He was 1 for 3 with two RBI and two strikeouts before being replaced by Jeff Keppinger.

Padres reinstate Carlos Quentin from paternity list
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(6:05 pm ET) The Padres have officially reinstated outfielder Carlos Quentin from the paternity list before Saturday's game against the Nationals. But Quentin was not in the starting lineup.

Quentin has missed the last three games to attend the birth of his child. He has reached base in each of his past five games, hitting .211 with four walks, two home runs and four RBI during that stretch.

Ben Revere losing playing time
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(6:02 pm ET) Despite batting .357 with a .438 on-base percentage in his last 13 games, Phillies outfielder Ben Revere was out of the starting lineup for a season-high fourth game in a row Saturday against the Reds. John Mayberry got the start in Revere's place. 

Revere has been limited to six starts against left-handed pitchers this season, but only two of the four games he has sat out have been against lefties. 

Revere told the Philadelphia Inquirer Saturday that he has been getting time off to work on his swing. Revere, who has just two extra-base hits in 118 at-bats, said he is trying to work on driving the ball.

"We've kind of been talking and going back to my old films from the minor leagues with the Twins and trying to find that power stroke," Revere said. "I know back then I was a 10-triple guy, it was gap-to-gap with everything, and they want me to get back to that and I do too. That’s the stuff I’m working on."
